As the final seconds ticked off the clock in Northwestern’s 31–28 victory against Nebraska in Ireland, the routine thoughts about Scott Frost’s struggles to win games arose.
In the third quarter, the Cornhuskers led by as many as 11 points following a Nebraska touchdown. But after Frost’s decision to attempt an onside kick was unsuccessful, the Wildcats made them pay, scoring a touchdown that same drive. Then, following a couple of strong defensive stops by Northwestern’s defense and a timely interception, the Wildcats capitalized on the Cornhuskers’ miscue.
After the game, Frost stated that he would have made a different decision regarding the onside kick attempt.
